    3.3 top edge caught by Jones! An attempted pull goes wrong. It was banged in shorter, swing across, Haynes tried to pull against the angle but got a top edge that flew straight up and Jones barely had to move to take a simple catch 13/1
    20.1 fantastic piece of keeping by Jones. Full outside off, Healy drives and misses, overbalances and her back foot goes out, Jones collects cleanly and whips the bails off with the batter's foot in the air, Healy tried to get it back in, but fails to do so. Another big wicket for England and it's Cross with the ball again 67/4
    16.6 Knocked her over! Cross has got the massive wicket of Lanning. Good length around off, it pitches and seams in sharply, gives Lanning no chance after that, she tries to dab but the ball beats the inside-edge and knocks back the off-stump. Cross with a double fist-pump and she is mobbed by her gang. Lanning can't believe it and stays for a while before trudging off 60/2
    17.2 golden duck for Perry and England are on top now. What a soft dismissal that is. Tossed up on the stumps, Perry gets forward and chips it straight back to the bowler. Ecclestone accepts the offering with glee. Did the ball stop on Perry? England get Lanning and Perry in quick time and that's not an easy thing for any team to achieve 61/3
    49.6 stunning catch from Winfield-Hill at mid off! That saves four! Slower ball outside off, Mooney skipped down and smoked a drive inside out flat and wide of mid off, Winfield-Hill had to move at full stretch to her right on the circle and plucked it with two hands. Superb catch. It looked four off the bat. 205/9
    34.1 clean bowled by an off cutter! Stumps splayed. Brilliantly bowled. Brunt delivers back of a length and rolls the fingers across it, it comes back sharply off the seam as McGrath tries to flay through the off side and it crashes into middle and off. 125/5
    37.6 Gardner is a run out! Mooney works to midwicket and there was hesitation and Gardner is caught short! Gardner was very slow to respond as Mooney poked it to the left of Knight, Gardner stuttered twice before finally going, the throw was high and wide but Jones was able to take it and break the stumps and Gardner was centimetres short 141/6
    40.6 leading edge taken at point! Reward for Cross. Another good length on off that just holds in the surface, Jonassen closes the bat face trying to work against the angle into the on side, gets a leading edge that flies high to point and Beaumont gets under it to take the catch. 152/7

    49.4 bowled off the pad! Back of the hand slower ball drifted outside leg, King tried to heave it over square leg, she missed and it came off the inside of her front pad and ricocheted onto leg 204/8

    10.1 that is unfortunate for Winfield-Hill. She has timed the pull well but picks out the lone woman in the field on the leg-side boundary. Length ball angling in, pulled to deep mid-wicket where Gardner does not have to move an inch. After a mini stand England lose their 3rd 39/3
    3.3 caught at first slip. The high backlift of Beaumont and the bat comes down at an angle - pointing towards gully, full and just outside off, makes the batter play and the defence, takes the thick edge and goes straight to the Aussie skipper who makes no mistake 10/1
    3.4 what a start for Australia! Good length on the stumps, stays a touch low perhaps, Knight is caught right in front and there's no need for a review either. Knight is beaten on the inside-edge. That is crashing into middle and Brown is on a hat-trick 10/2
    26.2 leading edge and Brown takes a cracking caught and bowled! This was back of a length, Sciver closed the face to work it leg side but she closed the face too soon, it ballooned off the leading edge back towards Brown, she had to dive forward and clutched it centimetres above the turf 103/6
    19.6 high full toss hit straight down deep square's throat! Was it a no-ball? The umpires will check upstairs! Perry took the catch. It was a waist high full toss, it is line ball whether it would have passed under waist high. Really tough call for the third umpire. She flushed a pull shot straight to Perry in the deep. The umpire is having a long look. It was dipping as she hit it and she struck it just above or on waist high depending on how you view it. Jones has been given out! Third umpire says it's a fair delivery 74/4
    21.3 plumb lbw! 106kph, full and straight, Dunkley was caught on the crease and it just zipped in off the seam and gathered pace to beat the inside edge and crash into the shin infront of middle and leg. No review from Dunkley. She knew. 83/5
    32.5 clean bowled by a superb delivery! Clipped the top of off! A special leg cutter from Schutt, angled in from wide of the crease, nipping away beating the outside edge and just clipping the top of off! She rolled the fingers down the side of the ball. Wyatt's bat looked to be covering off but it somehow still clipped it on the angle 134/7

    35.4 Given lbw! England review. Looks plumb. Full length pitching outside off, nipping back, beats the inside edge and hits the back leg infront of middle. Height the only question. Ball tracking has it crashing into middle and leg well under bail height. Easy decision. England lose the review. Brown has 4! 143/8
    38.3 bowled her! Shrubsole gets across outside off and attempts a cute little paddle, but misses the tossed up ball on the stumps, the ball goes onto hit the stumps and Australia just one wicket away now 154/9
    44.6 Australia retain the Ashes. Sharp catch by Jonassen low down to finish proceedings. They are checking for something but it's game over. Cross gets forward and punches it in the air, can't get it wide of Jonassen who bends and grabs it with both hands. Throws the ball away in delight. Her team-mates surround her to celebrate 178/10
